Countdown Cake {Surprise Inside Cake}

This is cake is one of my “crazy” ideas. I didn’t really think it could happen. But then it happened. And it wasn’t that hard. And I am super excited to share it with you!

I didn’t take any step-by-step pictures because this was my first time making this cake. Normally I like to make it, test it, make sure to get the kinks in the recipe out, then share it with you.

But I was just so excited that it worked so well I cast all precaution to the wind!

For the “surprise inside” this cake I created descending numbers. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1. Just like you would countdown New Years!

I started by cutting into the cake at the 10. The next piece was the 9 and the next piece was the 8, and so on.

This is where I forgot to take a lot of pictures because it was so exciting. And if you are a stickler for details you will see that the 4 is missing above… I have no idea how I could have forgotten 4! But rest assured he was there.

For the top I just sprinkled some gold and chocolate sprinkles. Easy. But fun!

And of course, the very last piece is the 1. Happy New Year!

I am hoping to get a tutorial together in the next couple days just in case anyone wants to make this cake.

Genius!! I’m in amazement by not only this cake, but all your other cakes as well. I have been keeping a file of all your beautiful cakes that I want to attempt and now that I’m unemployed (insert sad face), I have the time to bake and decorate!

What an amazing cake Amanda!! Haha, I have no idea how you managed to put the numbers inside the cake but I am so impressed that you managed it! Yummo. Great idea, I am going to have to put my thinking cap on as to how I can replicate this. Great for any special occasion! xx
